Christopher Herron and Nicola Jayne Fisher of Herron Fisher were appointed joint liquidators to A&A Design Ltd on 15 June 2026, placing the Brentford translation services company into a creditors' voluntary liquidation.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. In this case the appointment was made by both members and creditors.
The company
A&A Design Ltd was incorporated on 5 April 2012 and traded in translation services from its registered office at 15 Whitestile Road, Brentford, TW8 9NR. The company previously operated under the name A&A Design Limited, a name that ceased on 10 June 2015. Its most recent accounts, filed to 31 March 2025, were prepared on a micro-entity basis.
The liquidators
Herron practises under IP number 8755 and Fisher under IP number 9090. Both are based at Herron Fisher, Satago Cottage, 360a Brighton Road, Croydon, CR2 6AL. An IP number is the licence number issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body, identifying the individual practitioner.
The appointment was published in the London Gazette on 22 June 2026.
The directors
Two directors were in office at the time of the liquidation. Alex Planidin and Ana Maria Verdun were both appointed on 5 April 2012, the date of incorporation, and neither has a resignation recorded at Companies House. Both are resident in England.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against A&A Design Ltd at Companies House.
Common questions
Are you owed money by A&a Design Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at A&a Design Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from A&a Design Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to A&a Design Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
